We stand by the veracity of these statements in full compliance with Singapore’s Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and the Singapore Code of Advertising Practice (SCAP), ensuring that every statement is evidence-based, audit-safe, and fully compliant.

Optional Feature: Negative Oxygen Ion‑Releasing Function

The optional Negative Oxygen Ion‑Releasing function transforms surfaces into active air‑purifiers. Integrated with Nano‑scale technology, each square meter continuously generates over 49.7 billion negative ions per second, equivalent to the purification capacity of 4.2 mature trees. This enhancement reduces airborne particulates and formaldehyde, improves indoor freshness, and supports healthier environments. Ideal for wellness-focused developments, it combines architectural aesthetics with measurable sustainability impact.

🔋Carbon Reduction Breakthrough
🌍Carbon Emission: 1.02 kgCO₂/m² (98.6% lower than conventional materials like natural stone)
🌬️Smart Air Purification System
🔵Negative Ion Generation: >49.7 billion ions/sec/m² (Equivalent to air purification capacity of 4.2 mature trees per m²)
🧪Formaldehyde Removal Efficiency: 23.5% higher than standard benchmarks
🛡️Durability: 84.1% long-term performance retention
Triple Eco-Benefits for Singapore

1. Carbon Tax Savings (Singapore’s carbon tax applies only to facilities that emit 25,000 tons or more of greenhouse gases per year)
- 📉Annual carbon reduction: 729.8 tons of CO₂e
- 💰Carbon Tax Avoided (2024 rate): S$25/ton CO₂e
- 📈Annual Carbon Tax Savings: S$18,245
- *Note: This represents a direct cost avoidance. At the planned 2026 tax rate of S$45-S$80/ton CO₂e, the annual savings would increase significantly to between S$32,841 and S$58,384.*
2. 🫁Healthy Indoor Air Quality
- Delivers daily medical-level air purification capable for 91,000 people (based on WHO standard of 30m³/person/day).
3. 🚗Contribution to National Climate Goals
- The emission offset is equivalent to taking approximately 309 passenger vehicles off Singapore's roads for a year (based on an annual emission of 2.36 tons/vehicle).

MCM Covering with Anti-Mold & Antiviral Function

As an Optional Feature, Depending on Client Needs

MCM’s standard photocatalytic surface relies on natural UV light, making it highly effective in outdoor or sunlit environments. For enclosed or artificially lit spaces where UV activation is limited, MCM offers an optional non-UV variant. This version uses variable-valence ions to continuously generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), enabling 24/7 pollutant decomposition and antimicrobial protection without UV dependency.

UV‑Activated Photocatalytic Surface

We strongly recommend this option for spaces concerned about hygiene and indoor air quality (IAQ), especially those exposed to human crowds, such as enclosed restaurants, hospitals, clinics, offices, childcare centers, indoor public spaces, enclosed toilets, wet areas, kitchens, or any environment where air purification and microbial control are critical.

Variable-Valence Ion System for Continuous Pollutant Decomposition

The specially prepared ultrafine mineral clay powder possesses an extremely large specific surface area, enabling it to adsorb formaldehyde and organic compounds. During the manufacturing process, a non-toxic inorganic antimicrobial formaldehyde scavenger is added, featuring needle-like active centers with tip-effect. Unlike the MCM default photocatalysts surface that require UV light excitation (which is rarely achievable under most home environment conditions), this technology utilizes incorporated variable-valence ions for activation, continuously generating and releasing reactive oxygen species. These species decompose formaldehyde, benzene, and other organic micro-molecules adsorbed by the ultrafine mineral clay into water and CO₂. Consequently, it can decompose harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene, and eliminate harmful bacteria around the clock for decades.

Verified Performance of Optional Non-UV Antimicrobial Variant

This performance applies to MCM variants formulated with the optional non-UV antimicrobial upgrade.

Our MCM Covering material integrates advanced inorganic composite technology, providing lasting, 24/7 protection against microbes on the surface. Unlike photocatalysts that require UV light excitation, this built-in functionality is designed for long-term performance without relying on UV light.

The effectiveness of this technology has been verified by independent, third-party testing conducted by leading authoritative institutions.

Verified Performance Metrics:

Antibacterial Performance: 100% Effectiveness (Grade I)
- Tested and proven to eliminate >99.9% of harmful bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, achieving the highest Grade I standard (Report No.: WT2020B01A03450).
Antifungal Performance: Grade 0 (Highest Rating)
- Demonstrates complete resistance to mold growth, achieving a Grade 0 rating—the highest possible score—against six common mold species, including Aspergillus niger and Chaetomium globosum (Report No.: WT2020B01A03450).
Antiviral Performance: >99% Reduction
- Proven effective against human coronaviruses, demonstrating a 99.31% reduction of Human Coronavirus (HCoV-229E) on the surface within 24 hours, tested in accordance with the international ISO 21702 standard (Report No.: GXX22050179(E)).

This verified protection ensures a more hygienic surface, contributing to healthier indoor environments by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and mold that can affect air quality and material integrity.
